Sumario:The needs and demands of the knowledge society, the introduction of the information technologies to the everydaylife as well as the globalisation of the labour market, have affected the nature and meaning of the learning and teaching processes and brought the need to guarantee to everybody the achievement of new key competences for their personal and social development. International reports as PISA, indicate that in the horizon 2020 only 15% of jobs will be for unqualified people.The OECD defined the term competence as the "capacity to answer complex demands and to work in an appropriate way involving the ability to meet complex demands, by drawing on and mobilising psychosocial resources (including skills and attitudes) in a particular context. In the same direction, the European Commission stressed the need to equip people with 'new skills for new jobs' and defined competences as the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for a successful life in a knowledge society. The successive EU frameworks "Education and Training 2010" and "Education and Training 2020" stablished common strategic objectives including a set of principles to achieve them, as well as common working methods. The International Conference on the New Millennium Learners1, introduced also the concept of 21st Century skills and competencies, as addressed to allow young people to contribute to a system based in knowledge instead of industry.
